What are some beginner jobs to get into Cyber Security that is remote?
If you want to do offensive security like penetration testing, learn some tools like Burp Suite and Metasploit and point them at a vulnerable Linux distro. While you're doing that, find some local security user groups and start attending so you can find out about openings right away. The job is to run automated and manual tests against specific hosts and write reports about what you find. A technical writing course is a big benefit here.

I'm excited to share with you my latest contributions to the GitHub community: a collection of free GitHub Actions designed to streamline and enhance security practices utilizing DAST and OSINT tooling that is widely used - sqlmap, bbot and nikto. There were no GH Actions that I could find, so I made them for my use case, but figured everyone can benefit from those awesome tools.
